http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=2793477 A station held a contest where you drank a whole bunch of water and had to hold it in in order to win a Nintendo Wii. They called it "Hold your wee for a Wii." A lady died from the contest. Wooow... |

A stomach and a bladder are only so big... Too much of anything can kill you. Except maybe love? Eh, maybe that can kill you inadvertently... |
